Need help with Maintenance Schedule-diff, transmission, etc
Hi. I have a 2012 Audi A7 with 67k miles. I've had it since it had 40k mikes on it. I'm getting my 65k oil change and brake fluid flush from a local Audi Dealer. What other fluids need to be changed on my car?
I know they say the transmission has a lifetime fluid but that's a little scary lol. Has anybody changed it?
Front and rear differential? Any other fluids?
any information will be appreciated! Thank you!

UPDATE:
I guess nobody does regular maintenance on their cars here or don’t keep them long enough lol.
First of all, I want to say that the Audi dealerships don’t know jack **** about anything. The service guy kept telling me everything that isn’t listed in the scheduled maintenance intervals sheet Is lifetime fluid and you never change it. Transmission fluid, front diff, rear diff, and transfer case fluid are all lifetime fluids lol. Kind of hard to believe. Service specialist just kept giving me a bunch of wrong info over the phone. But anyways, I left the transmission fluid alone since i didn’t want to run the risk of it messing up. Changed the front diff, rear diff and transfer case fluids at 82k mikes. The fluid definitely looked dirty. Not sure how much longer it was good for. You guys can believe what you want. For those of you who plan on keeping your car running strong and healthy you should definitely look into changing the fluids to prevent any problems in the future. For those who trade in their cars after 2-3 years, you have nothing to worry about lol.
